DULUTH MATTERS.
Wheat and Flour Statistics-The
DOings of a Day.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, MIMI, Oct. 31.-The in
crease of -four in Duluth is out of all
proportion to the increase in stock of
wheat and other grains. During the
last week the amount of wheat in store
has increased but 215, 225 bushels, max
ing total of 1,103.7 33 bushels now in
store, of which 693, l55 bushels are No. l
hard and 231, 959 are No. Northern. A
year ago at this time the total in store
was nearly 100000 bushels, but the
great movement of September and Dc
tOber had nearly closed, while this year
the largest receipts of the season are
to-day. 496 carloads. which will make
considerable of an increase tomorrow.
The shipments of the month have been
very heavy. Owing to these heavy
shipments the increase in stocks for the
week is only slightly apparent, and is
ing $685. 900 bushels. Flour i'll store
shows large increase, there being now
in store 14S, 253 barrels, 13S,62S of which
are in the st. Paul & Duluth ware
houses. This road has received during
the week 6,0S7 barrels, while the North
ern Pacific has had but $3.50, making
total receipts of 61,337 barrels. The
shipments have been 20, 10 barrelS-to
Buffalo 1903, to Erie 2,315, and to Sar-
mia STOP. Shipments will probably be
heavy this week if the weather remains
pleasant.
Last night two Celestials engaged in
the laundry business on Third street,
Rice'S Point. had a lively affray. A
young Swede girl, of respectable pa
rents, who lives at Rice'S Point, was in
the building spending the evening with
her admirer, who reJolceS in the un-
healthy name of One Lung. One Lung
was engaged in wooing her when another
heather, who possesses the musical APP
pellation of Sing Lee, came into the
room and began making advances to-
wards the girl. One Lung became furi-
Ously enraged and drew knife on Lee,
who Immediately ''called" with another,
and they went at it for all they were
worth, the girl being an interested spec
tator of the Tray. Finally Lung slashed
Lee in the arm, and the dueliStS ceased
their exertions for lack of wind. The
proprietor of the place then interfered,
and the case was decided by the girl
leaving for home.
In response to request to be present
at meeting of the common council to-
morrow evening, President Fisher, of
the st. Paul Il Duluth, wires that his
engagements will not permit him to be
present in person, but that he will hare
a representative with power to act
present at the council chamber. Mr..
Fisher in the same telegram refers to
the Lake avenue bridge matter. and re-
news the proposition made in behalf Of
the railroad company last spring, viz.
that the company will construct the
bridge if the city will build the APP
proacheS and stand the damages to
abutting property. Mr.. Fisher says the
company has always. and does now. feel
deep interest in any measures that Will
improve Duluth in any manner, and
that the ST. Paul q Duluth officials
think the above proposal fair and
equitable. He adds that the railway
tracks across Lake avenue were laid
long before street was thought OF
there, and hence the company was in
clined to antagOniZe bridge. The city
could not compel it to move in the mat
ter. Mr.. Fisher admits that if the right
of way had been secured through the
street, or even proposed street, the
law would compel the railway company
to build the bridge, and these are the
circumstances which were supposed to
exist. The matter will be disposed of
tomorrow evening, and there is little
doubt but that it will be decided to
build the bridge at once.
